Let me on up Let me on up I walk with a stone in my shoe And a load on my back Packed with things that I just can't lose And my clock, it never keeps the right time It's got a permanent hitch It keeps me wrapped up tight If this is gonna get me tied up in knots How am I gonna be when somethin' big comes along? I kept my ear is so close to the ground Now, let me on up So I can feel the sun throwin' all its heat over me, yeah Let me on up I need to step on the brakes Hang up that phone There's a light sneakin' through the blinds Keep me hangin' on Bring me back home 'Cause I been gone too long Just like a hurricane with no town to claim I'm just a-ramblin on Now, if this is gonna get me tied up in knots How am I gonna be when somethin' big comes along? I kept my ear is so close to the ground Now, let me on up So I can feel the sun throwin' all its heat over me Let me on up I've done some stupid things in my time And they're catchin' up on me tonight Come on through, I won't put up a fight I wait like a fox starin' at the headlights Now, if this is gonna get me tied up in knots How am I gonna be when somethin' big comes along? I kept my ear is so close to the ground Now, let me on up So I can feel the sun throwin' all its heat over me, yeah Let me on up Let me on up I need to step on the grate, now Let me on up Let me on up I'm just a-ramblin' on, on, on Let me on up Let me on up
